(1 Timothy 3 outlines qualifications necessary for those who desire to be spiritual leaders. Those qualifications include being “above reproach” and having a “good reputation”. In light of this, there is a great concern about the area of moral purity for participants. It is critical that each Short Term Missions trainee exhibits strong convictions and a lifestyle consistent with Biblical standards. A past problem in this area does not necessarily disqualify an applicant provided that it can be determined that convictions are strong and consistent with Scripture, and a sufficient “time-tested” track record of victory has been established)
